ABSTRACT
According to a recent systemic review, hallux valgus deformity has a prevalence rate of about 23% among adults aged 18 to 65 years. To date, more than 100 operative methods have been reported for the correction of hallux valgus deformity. For young female with mild to moderate hallux valgus deformity, minimally invasive surgery can be considered for aesthetic demands. Here, we report a case of a young female patient with mild hallux valgus deformity treated by minimally invasive surgery using intramedullary low profile plate fixation. This can be the favorable method for secure fixation of the osteotomy site and prevention of medial skin irritation symptoms derived from a sharp osteotomy margin.
